Full hypnosis download All or nothing thinking – in production
‘All or nothing thinking’ or ‘black or white thinking’ is both a symptom of emotional distress and problems but also a cause of such problems. Take perfectionism. To the perfectionist, something or someone must be completely perfect or else it/they are completely worthless. This ‘strategy’ contributes to relationship problems and can lead to the onset of depression because it creates a constant stream of bad feelings and also stops people trying new things that might benefit them because perfection might not be reached.
Life is rarely ‘all this’ or ‘completely that’. There are shades of grey. Depressed, addicted, anxious and angry people are forced through strong emotion to see life in simplified black/white ways. Think who you’ve heard saying things like:
“My life is a disaster!”
“Nothing ever works out for me!”
“These people are evil!”
“If I don’t get my fix my life will be ruined!”
All or nothing thinking is also all around us in the media, because it can make things seem exciting and it sells. “Mother in law ruined my life!” will sell more magazines than “Mother in law sometimes made family gatherings a bit difficult!” Politicians use all or nothing speech to make their appeals more emotional and simplistically gripping. Hitler was (sadly) renowned for making emotionally arousing all or nothing statements, with horrendous effect. But being too all or nothing on a personal level, too much of the time, can also cause us problems.
Much of a therapist’s job is to help people think more calmly – and therefore more subtly. Strong feelings generate this kind of thinking, so rather than just tackling the thinking itself head on (in the hope that changing the thinking will change the feeling), the new All or nothing thinking hypnosisdownloads.com session works to calm down feeling so that it feels more natural to begin to think in new less damaging ways.
All the best

Full hypnosis download Overcome exercise addiction – in production
It’s easy to forget that exercise, as with all things, requires the right dosage for it to be healthy and increase fitness rather than cause injury and fatigue. Exercise addicts, like anyone addicted to anything, can come to make exercise the sole focus of their life. They may start to neglect their friends, their work and yes, even their health in an obsessive quest to get ever fitter and get their natural exercise high. But good exercise practice always includes periods of rest away from physical activity.
Exercise, especially if it’s intense, breaks down muscle tissue (catabolism). It is during proper rest that we give the body a chance to grow stronger and fitter (anabolism). Too much exercise, such as what’s been called as ‘chronic cardio’, which may amount to running many miles every day, can actually wear away not just bone density but muscle mass. Having good muscle mass (which doesn’t necessarily mean looking like the youthful Arnie) ensures we burn fat efficiently. So too much exercise can make us seem slimmer because we’ve lost muscle mass – but actually makes us fatter because we’re no longer burning fat efficiently. In the new session Overcome exercise addiction we really focus on helping people feel in control of their exercise patterns so that they can exercise to live rather than the other way about.

Full hypnosis download Overcome news addiction – in production
It used to be that you had to wait for the TV news to come on, and even back in those far distant days we could get saturated with doom and gloom if we insisted on seeing the lunch time, 6 o’clock and 9’oclock bulletins while also listening to the radio news. But now we can keep updated 24/7 and the need to constantly ‘check what’s going on’ can become quite obsessive.
And how much of the news you see and read is really news at all if you have just seen it half an hour ago? So much of it is depressing and even horrific that constantly exposing ourselves to it can and does have depressing effects. The fact is, you really could live without any news because if something that important happened, you can be sure you would get to hear about it soon enough if you really needed to.
I worked with one client who went from having to catch up with news every hour to just reading it three times a week. He told me he felt much more relaxed and still just as informed.
My hot news for you is that the Overcome news addiction session is now up on hypnosisdownloads.com – because we feel that the ‘hypnotic’ effect of too much news can be personally damaging.
All the best

Full hypnosis download No excuses – in production
If we are too soft on ourselves, too eager to make allowances and never get tough, too determined to treat ourselves with kid gloves all the time, then we actually deny ourselves the opportunity to fulfil our dreams, goals and personal potential. The habit of making up excuses as a way of not practicing a skill or attempting something new or taking a career change or asking someone we like out on a date is, at heart, a dishonest strategy.
Either we are dishonest with someone else when we make up a reason why we ‘can’t’ or ‘shouldn’t’ do something, or we lie to ourselves. So rather than admitting: “I’m too scared to attend these night school classes!” we might sell ourselves the line that: “These classes weren’t really what I was looking for anyway!”
Excuses are not the same as ‘reasons’ but they pretend to be. When we watch the Paralympics and see disabled men and women compete we are seeing people who could so easily have made up excuses not to train, not to compete, not to bother. But they were bigger than that.
The new hypnosisdownloads.com session No excuses has the potential, I think, to transform lives because once we ditch excuses we can truly stand up and walk out of the waiting room of life and start being what we have it in us to be.
All the best
